Chapter 9 — Bonus Report 1: Mandatory Vaccinations

There has been a lot of talk in the media lately - at the time this book was released - about the new ‘No Jab, No Pay’ and ‘No Jab, No Play’ legislation that has been brought in, which effectively makes vaccinations mandatory.

So what is this new legislation all about and how does it affect people with children?

The new legislation that was passed at the end of 2015 and came into effect as of the 1^st of January 2016 is an amendment to the A New Tax System (Family Assistance) Act 1999.  It essentially means that to receive the family tax allowance, you must have your child/children immunised in accordance with the government immunisation schedule as per the NIP (National Immunisation Program).

But the new legislation also has other implications, too. Previously, children were only checked for vaccination status up to the age of 5 for the Family Tax Benefit and age 7 for the Childcare payments, but will now be required to comply with all vaccinations until a child has reached the age of 19!

Parents who do not force their children to have all 12 vaccinations – by age 12 months – plus all future vaccinations will not receive the Childcare Benefit or Family Tax Benefit Part A supplement.

It also means that parents who do not force their children to have all the vaccinations listed will also not receive the childcare rebates, so they will not be able to go out and work. This constitutes coercive and manipulative measures (using financial payments) that are in breach of the ‘right to informed consent to vaccination’ that is supported by the World Medical Association and all international bills of human rights.

Even section 2.1.3 of the Australian Immunisation Handbook (page 26) states that free and informed consent must be given “voluntarily in the absence of undue pressure, coercion and manipulation”.

This new amendment is a clear breach of the code of conduct for good medical practice and the International Covenant for Economic, Cultural and Social Rights (ICECSR) which prohibits discriminatory welfare policies and the removal of autonomy over our own bodies.

Why this new legislation is unlawful.

First and foremost, the legislation has not been lawfully enacted and there exists no Proclamation Certificate for it.

Secondly, it is in breach of Section 83.4 of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth), which relates to ‘Interfering with Political Liberty’ and states that, “Any person who, by violence or by threats or intimidation of any kind, hinders or interferes with the free exercise or performance, by any other person of any political right or duty shall be guilty of an offence.”

Furthermore, it is contrary to the ruling by Justice Latham, in the matter of British Medical Association v Commonwealth, where, at 81, he stated, “I summarize my opinion upon this question in the propositions that the prohibition of ‘any form’ of civil conscription prevents any compulsory service being required under a Federal law for the provision of pharmaceutical benefits, that the prohibition applies to piecemeal as well as to whole-time compulsion, and that in determining whether there is compulsion it is proper to consider not only the bare legal provision but also the effect of that provision in relation to the class of persons to whom it is applied in the actual economic and other circumstances of that class.”

This case very clearly states that forcing you to vaccinate your children in order to receive tax breaks or welfare payments – which is what this new legislation provides for - is simply unacceptable!

Now, we want to make it clear at this point that this chapter is not about the pros and cons of whether you should or shouldn't vaccinate your children - we could write another entire book on that subject alone. Instead, what we want to ensure is that people retain a choice as to whether or not they want to vaccinate their children.

We will say this about the vaccination argument though: if vaccinations work, as the government claims they do, then there should be no issue with unvaccinated children co-mingling with vaccinated children - period. And, if the government is adamant that vaccinations are safe, then why is it that no doctor will put his/her name to a document categorically stating that?

At the end of the day, no government - or any other body/entity/group of people, for that matter - has any right to force you to inject your baby with toxic chemicals - that no-one is prepared to declare are safe - and threaten you with any kind of loss - including a loss of welfare assistance - as a result.

If you are being coerced into having your child vaccinated against your will and consent, the first thing we recommend you do is print out the Vaccination Warranty form from our References section/CD and see if any doctor will sign it. We haven’t found a single doctor who is prepared to sign it yet, but the politicians insist on continuing with this shocking new ‘mandatory vaccination’ legislation.

And it is for that reason that we have prepared a letter that you can send to a number of departments if you are, in any way, likely to be negatively impacted by the new "No Jab, No Pay" or “No Jab, No Play” legislation. You can access a copy of that letter on our References CD or you can download it here.

We also recommend addressing the letter to the following entities:

The Minister for Education and Training:

Mr Simon Birmingham

PO Box 6100 Senate Parliament House

Canberra ACT 2600

The CEO of Centrelink:

Grant Tidswell

Department of Human Services

PO Box 7788

Canberra BC ACT 2610

And, the Governor-General’s Office:

Peter Cosgrove

Government House

Dunrossil Drive

YARRALUMLA ACT 2600

You can simply cut and paste those details into the top of the letter and change the name you are addressing the letter to and send a copy off to all relevant parties.
